14/04/2020 This is the time to strategize and plan for the future. Time to make decisions that will help us recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dear Reader,

We hope you're in good health, taking care of yourself, and optimistic about the future.

These are uncertain and very delicate times that we, as a community are facing. But we need to look ahead and figure out how we will get over this situation.

We as a company are doing everything in our power to rise above the crisis. And we're trying our very best to lift up the community by allocating our resources to assist the industry in any way possible. 

With the assistance of our parent company, Beverage Trade Network, and the resources that we could mobilize at such short notice, here's what we're doing to ensure that we, the wine industry, as a community survive this crisis and rise up again stronger than ever!

1. Sommeliers Looking For Jobs Help Page

If you're a front-line on-premise professional whose job was put at risk due to COVID-19, we can help you reach new potential employers starting today!

Beverage Trade Network and Sommeliers Choice Awards have taken this initiative to help sommeliers and wine directors and other front-line staff whose jobs are at risk due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and who have been laid off due to the restaurant industry suffering.

Our objective here is to continue supporting the on-premise community in any way possible, so if you're facing a challenge in your profession, please don't hesitate to contact us!

These are skilled professionals with a background of service in the hospitality sector and experience in dealing with wine clients. We understand that the on-premise sector is not hiring, but these professionals are also suited for off-trade requirements.

4. BTN Offers Free Product Listing During COVID-19

 The situation isn’t at it's best, but now is the time to work on your product’s visibility.

It’s hard to get in front of the beverage world right now, and that is exactly why Beverage Trade Network is opening up its product listing portal free of cost.

BTN’s post your brand’ portal attracts buyers and consumers, who then learn about your products, and can viably reach out to you directly. It’s the best, and easiest way to put your wines, beers, and spirits out into the industry once again. The situation right now is completely unprecedented, and there isn’t much we can do. However, we are ready and going in full throttle in helping brands, importers, distributors, and retailers, as much as we can.
